They are very powerful and seemingly indestructible.

They sound terrible when you first use them, run them in though and you'll love them.

I fancied a pair of speakers that would surpass my actual needs, more powerful than I was ever going to require, apart from the odd moment when I wanted to blow the roof off my house. The salesman at Richer Sounds in Sevenoaks recommended these, omitting to tell me one very important thing.

I was horribly disappointed when I got these home. I plugged then into a NAD C370 and couldn't believe how flat and dull they sounded, so much so that I hardly used them again for a couple of years.

Recently I started using them again and I'm astonished that every time I do they get better and better, I wasn't aware that they'd need "running in".

Several years after I bought them I am in love with their ability to deliver crisp, heavy, powerful sound. I love a wide variety of music; from Rachmaninoff to The Prodigy, everything sounds superb through these.

tweetrs not so loud, the forward cover on high-power sometimes creaks

. For such price I have not found that which can be put beside. They have very good balance. They need the large space for good reproduction of a sound. They have very good division between high and low freq. the bass sounds amazingly at low power. Sounding very exact. Interestingly that it is necessary to fill by their sand then to hear as they sound. After two months the sound became more open and warm. Sound perfectly with jazz, classical, vocal music.
